EMBARK on NEW ADVENTURES

Explore Samui Nature

Ang Thong Marine National Park

An oasis of untouched beauty, Ang Thong Marine National Park is a fascinating archipelago of emerald-green waters and towering limestone cliffs. Vibrant coral reefs and an exotic sea life create a kaleidoscope of colours beneath the surface. Discover hidden lagoons, hike through misty rainforests and bathe in the cascading waterfalls of Hin Lard.

Lipa Noi Beach

Lipa Noi Beach is an oasis of solitude and relaxation. Swim, surf or snorkel for hours. Dip your toes in quiet waters, bask under the sun or take a romantic stroll along dazzling shores. Kids can sip on fresh coconut water and make sandcastles all day.

Fisherman’s Village

Bophut Beach's dining strip — over 40 restaurants, many on the sand. Closes to traffic from 6pm and becomes a walking street by evening. Worth the drive for dinner, drinks and souvenir shopping at the local night market.

More Activities

Watersports

Kayaking from the estate, snorkelling off Lipa Noi, or a day trip to Ko Tao for diving. The Gulf of Thailand has plenty to offer once you're in it.

Golfing

Swing into relaxation with a round of golf. Santiburi Golf Course combines manicured fairways with exceptional service and world-class facilities. Take advantage of its 18 challenging holes and savour hypnotic views of the Gulf of Siam.
